Let us Spur One Another in Love

Adobong Bangus

Savory adobo is known around the world as a Filipino delicacy. Unfortunately, I found out that this is not true.  The Filipinos’ version of adobo was an adaptation from the Spaniards way of pickling or marinating food. This method called “adobar” was used by the Spanish homemakers to preserve their choice of meat using vinegar and salt.

Since the Spanish conquistadors settled in the our country for 400 years, it’s conclusive that majority of our practices and traditions were derived from them including our best-loved adobo. But already being innovative in the 1500s, our ancestors made adobo their own and has now evolved dramatically throughout the centuries.

No longer is adobo partnered with steaming hot rice. It has not been added to pasta, served as filling for breads, made into crunchy toppings and spreads or pate as well.

Our family too has different adobo versions. The first one, which I call “regular” adobo, has the basic ingredients: soy sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper plus sugar. Sweetness and saltiness combined 🙂

Take away the soy sauce and you have our second version, which is a paler version of the first one. I cook the meat until the liquid has evaporated and allow the meat to toast in its oil in the pan. I love to pair this with fried egg and rice for a heavy breakfast.

The last version, which the kids call “white adobo”,  is cooked in coconut milk, ginger and bell pepper. I will be sharing this soon.

For this recipe, I used the regular version with the following ingredients.

  • 400 to 500 grams Bangus back fillet or belly fillet (I prefer the healthier back fillet :-))
  • soy sauce  or  light soy sauce
  • cane vinegar
  • one bulb of local garlic or half of a bulb if you’re using the Taiwan garlic
  • brown sugar
  • black pepper
  • laurel leaf/bay leaf

Let the sauce boil and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. As soon as the fish turns white from red/pink, it’s done.

***An alternate way of cooking is to let all the ingredients simmer for 10 minutes in a pan and then add the Tilapia fillet until cooked.

Once done, serve in a platter and top with garlic chips. Told you I love garlic 🙂

How do you prepare your adobo? Do you have homegrown meals you want to share with me?

One thing I LOVE to do is encourage people. And I One thing I LOVE to do is encourage people. And I use words to do that either on social media, in my blog, or my book. 

Not everyone will LOVE what I put out there, and that's okay. Because someone who needs those words of encouragement would LOVE them. 

I got this key point towards the latter part of episode 68 of @simonsinek ‘s podcast called A Little Bit of Optimism. He was talking to Carla Hall, a chef, author, and motivational speaker. 

Although they were talking about how they ‘fell’, the conversation headed in the direction of loving what you do. 

Do check out that episode maybe it’ll hit you differently than me. Send me a DM and ill share the episode link with you 💕

There's another part of comparison that we uninten There's another part of comparison that we unintentionally do. It's looking at other people’s trials and comparing them with ours.

We all have burdens to carry. And in each burden, the Lord is either correcting or teaching us. 

Each trial is personal. So who's to say someone’s troubles are more burdensome than the other? 

Let's avoid saying, “Oh, I have bigger worries than you”. Because we don't see what the Lord is doing in the other person’s life. 

Remember, God doesn't love us equally but uniquely. Even in the challenges we encounter, He has a unique purpose in all of them. 

📖
“Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.” James 1:2-4 The Message

It's a little personal. Scroll up if you're not up It's a little personal. Scroll up if you're not up to it. 

My recent battle with emotions exposed an ugly truth—I operate on validation from other people. The praise and ‘good job’ became my fuel and when I don't get it, I feel unwanted and insignificant. 

But God, in his graciousness, allowed me to discover it in the quiet moments. Going through that painful season is necessary to shake the drama off of my life and keep me sober. 

He uses His Word to validate who I am and who He is. What a liberating feeling to finally have this awareness so I can press on joyfully. 

Only God can use a most desperate season to bring about His holy purpose in our lives. What the devil meant for evil, God meant for good. Praise You, Lord!
